# checkhier(8)

## NAME

         checkhier - check the directory hierarchy

## SYNOPSIS

         checkhier

## DESCRIPTION

         Checkhier checks a number of files and directories that make up  the  top
         level  file system hierarchy.  The output of the command is a script that
         could be applied to fix things like bad mode, wrong owner or group, etc.

         The script should never be executed without checking.  I might be  better
         to examine the differences oneself and to fix any problems by hand.

         Checkhier must be run by the superuser.

## SEE ALSO

         chmod(1), chown(8), hier(7).

## DIAGNOSTICS

         The exit code is 0 if all checks out right, otherwise a script is  output
         and the exit code is 1.
